Below are two old posts that show some measurable academic indicators. I believe Lodi’s shortfalls can be blamed directly on the corruption and nepotism coming out of the Board office.

The BOE’s top priorities really shouldn’t be Capizzi’s $7.5 million office and more money for the Licata family.
From today’s Record:
“Test scores
These figures represent the
percentage of students meeting expectations and are composite results in each
school district, combining results across multiple grades. While figures in some districts appear
unusually low, the state Education Department says it, as well as individual
school districts, had a chance to review them before they were released to the
public.”

Parents had asked for the rest of the PARCC results at Tuesday's meeting.
The PARCC results were part of the December agenda (beginning on page 83). The Board only discussed the 3rd and 4th district/state comparisons for Language Arts and then stopped for some reason. Patty Licata clapped. The Board did not release the rest.
If you want to know why Lodi is performing below the State average at almost every level, take a look at Joe Licata. Attend a BOE meeting. Look at the Board's priorities- nepotism, patronage, wasting $7.5 million on offices for 24 employees, denying public access, discouraging public input, etc.
Marc Capizzi made up his own rule that the public can't see an agenda before a meeting but they can see one after. Here is the link to the PARCC results found on the December 16th agenda:
